CALENDAR Application filed April 9,

Our invention relates to improvements in calendars and particularly thattype of wall calendar wherein there is provided a series of leavesfolded upon themselves and form- 5 mg a pad, the leaves being soarranged that when one leaf is turned it exposes a monthly calendar andat the same time provides a memorandum pad. In certain of calendars ofthis type which are now on the market there is provided a pad the leavesof which are adapted to be folded upwardly to expose a calendar for amonth and at the same time provide a memorandum. The upper portion ofthe pad is generally provided with a cover sheet on which is displayedsuitable advertising matter. One of the objections to this type of padhas been found to be that the user will not bother to raise the coversheet each time the pad is changed and as a result the cover sheet ishidden by the turned up sheets, thereby destroying the advertising valueof the calendar.

It is one of the objects of our invention to provide a calendar of thischaracter whereby the sheets may be unfolded to provide not only themonthly calendar sheet, but the memorandum pad, and at the same timeunfolded in such a manner as to insure the display of the advertisingcarried on the cover sheet.

In the embodiment of our invention illus- V trated, in the accompanyingdrawings- Fig. 1 is a front elevation partly in section, of a padembodying our invention;

Fig. 2 is an end view showing the pad folded in its normal and deliveryposition;

Fig. 3 is an end view showing certain of the sheets turned down;

Fig. 4: is a detail sectional view showing the securing eyelet andassociated sheets, and

Fig. 5 is a detail front elevation, showing the manner of securing thepad sheets.

In the structure illustrated we provide a backing sheet 1 which may beformed of relatively heavy paper and is generally scored or creasedalong the center at the point 2 so that the pad may be folded into bookform. This backing forms a support for the calendar pad which is made upof a series of leaves 3 which are secured intermediate of their ends1928. Serial No. 268,432.

to the backing sheet by means'of staples 4. Eachof the pad sheetsaboveand below the fold line has printed on one face a monthly calendarand on the opposite face memorandum data. The sheets are adapted to befolded at a central point as in a book formation and their free ends aresecured to the backing sheet by an eyelet 7 which passes through theedges of the backing sheet and the pad sheets and provides an eyelet bywhich the pad may be hung from a nail. That portion of each sheetsurrounding the eyelet is perforated as at 8 to permit the sheet to bereadily disengaged from the eyelet and turned down.

The entire pad is provided with a cover sheet 9 which may be secured bya folded rib of metal 10 to the backing sheet. This cover sheet in usemay be doubled upon itself to form a pocket 11. When the pad isinitially delivered all of the sheets are folded in book form, thecalendar sheets being secured in this folded position by means of theeyelet. lVhen the calendar is hung the backing sheet hangs straight downand the first sheet is released from the eyelet by tearing at theperforated points. This permits the first sheet'to unfold and drop down,exposing the first month of the year and leaving exposed on the back ofthe next succeeding sheet the memorandum data 5, which data, however, isprotected and covered by the cover sheet 9. In this manner the coversheet may never be hidden by the folding of the pad in use and theadvertising value v of the calendar is maintained.

We claim as our invention:

1. A calendar comprising a plurality of calendar sheets secured togetherintermediate of their upper and lower edges in book leaf form, afastener securing the free edges of said calendar sheets together, saidsheets being perforated around said fastener to permit the same to betorn free therefrom and a cover sheet secured at its upper edge to the.

calendar sheets and having its opposite edge free, said cover sheetbeing adapted to overlie the upper half of the calendar sheets when thesame are unfolded.

2. A calendar comprising a plurality of sheets folded at an intermediateline to one side of the middle, a back, fastening means securing thewider sections of the folded sheets to the back along a line parallelwith the fold line, a cover sheet overlying the group of folded sheets,and an eyelet passed through and securing together the back sheet, theedges of the entire group of folded sheets and; the cover. sheet, thenarrower section of each of the folded sheets being weakened along atear line embracing the eyelet.

In Witness whereof, we have hereunto set out hands at Indianapolis,Indiana, this 6th day of April, A. D. one thousand nine humdred andtwenty-eight.
